NEW BUILD ANNOUNCEMENT (Patreon)

What? That’s the Eclipse? That’s not new!

Well yes, but the plan is 😏

Ladies & gents, I’m going to mid-engine swap the Eclipse and then give it away! You read that right! Im pulling out the 4G63, rebuilding it, then putting it right behind the seats making a mid engine, rwd, 400hp Eclipse. This will yet again be a worlds first with a lot of new fabrication challenges to tackle, but I’m so excited! After the build is done and we’ve had some time to enjoy it, I’ll be giving it away to a lucky fan.

The goal is to have a really unique, one of a kind streetcar. Something you can take to a dragstrip, drift event, or grip event, and then comfortably take on a long road trip right afterwards. There will be a video out on Sunday explaining it all but I wanted to give you guys an early tease! What are your thoughts?

That's... Actually crazy. All for it 😂

[ ]

This is going to be sick I can’t wait

Taner Betts

Going to be a sick build

KaijuMFG

It’s a great plan, I’d love a very in-depth plan on this though!

MisterEclipse

Wow! That's so cool! Good on you, that's gonna be some amazing content to look forward to. Super excited. :)

Cain Robert

That sounds like such a massive task. That’s Awesome!!!

Jamie

Sounds like a very difficult fab to get right, awesome project! I wonder how it'll handle afterwards. Closer to SW20 instead of 911?

Jonah Lee

That will be sick! How will you determine who gets the car?

Ryan Richardson

Can not wait and hope us 2 old dudes at JMR will be allowed to make it happen

Beck Smith

This things gonna give the WRx-5 a run for its money on coolness factor alone

Mini_Mazda

Well I'll be anxiously waiting to see this build unfold. Such an awesome idea.

Jeremy Wilkins

Genius🙅🏻‍♂️ Gengium👍🏼

Kalter Muise

Gotta make sure you have a good cooling system, this car has some sort of back luck with that

tml

that's super ambitious but would be super dope! would probably do really well on YT since it's so unique.

Gingium

Glad it got your approval lol

Gingium

Maybe a bit. I’m excited to be able to bring my insane ideas to life again

Gingium

The cooling system is good now. It just needs a flat block, head, and a gasket that doesn’t leak 😂

George

i want it and its not even done yet

Ding Dong Drift

Wish i could help somehow, let me know if there's something i can design or 3D print. Dude I'm so hyped for this, it's gonna be insane lol.

Mad Bull

Yes, this sounds very interesting! Should be amazing content. I am looking forward to it!

Gingium

The Eclipse MR-T? The Eclipse MR-GST? The Eclipse GS-MR?

Etienne Mnrd

This is fucking insane... I love it.

Peter Gil

Sounds awesome, maybe see if you can get sponsors for the engine rebuild

AJ Ortega

woah.... I need this😭 THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH

Bryce Welch

Tbh the only person who deserves something that amazing should be the builder. Good luck though. I'm hyped. Cooler then rwd civic

Gingium

I’ll enjoy it plenty when it’s in my ownership. Funny fact, I was going to rwd a Civic but decided for this instead!

Scott Redmond

Awesome idea. I assume you will install an Lsd as well?

Maddie

Holy hell. That is nuts. So ready for these vids

Gingium

Yep! I was going to just weld the diff, but I want this to drive nicely to LSD it is.

Bryce Welch

Power to you dude. Who says you can't do both eventually. If your really interested in monstrosity creations, backward driving pickup?

2zzyQ

I assume it is going to be rear-engine, not mid, right? Keeping the trans?

Jose A. Garcia

As per usual, I am invested in this and will be looking forward to the build!

George

Eclipse MR-63

Andrew Jutras

What the hell?!?!??......LETS DO THIS!!!!!!! :D

Matt Mandle

this is sick, looking forward to it!

Not Me

Yeah do it

Blake Harper

i shat my pants please help ;(( sounds cool tho

Zach South

Was just watching through the last few weeks videos since I was away, have to say love the new shop. One thing that keep nagging at me is the lack of a big truck to rival the lifted jeeps and pickups that keep showing up. Taylor Ray did a series building his dream tow/work truck and I think as you go to more events something similar to that would not only be useful, but exciting to see what sort of gingium madness you could come up with and stuff into it. Keep up the solid work!!

Chase Stewart

There are better power plants. I’d put something else in there, otherwise cool idea.

Fittsy

holy shit, caleb literally never seazes to amaze me, probably why i never miss out on his videos and why i never stop watching him lol

Matt Coughlin

not trying to be a dick, but its "ceases to amaze." just a fyi.

Dlaw25

Drift event? Will you be doing a rwd swap?

Oscar _Fix

That sounds like an absolute awesome build! Looking forward to seeing the progress!!

Daniel Persson

Should we call it MR EVO? M for mid R for rear wheel drive Evo for the 4G63

Benjamin Perez

Definitely would be really cool, 400hp and rwd on the car would feel awesome

Jacob English

Gotta weld together the engine bay to make a frunk, you know, so its practical\

Danilo Diaz

I am not a car guy. This is the only car channel I follow. I only sub'd because I used to have a Miata. I only say that because my first reaction is: "how? no way". But I am sure you will figure it out. BTW this is the only Patron as have as well. Keep it up.

IT_ODIS

Fresh twist on the dsm scene. Fantastic direction to take the project in

Red Squirrel

Wow that should be a really interesting build.

Jon Crandall

I'm really excited for this build and I hope I win the car afterwards! I live nearby so that would be perfect haha. Awesome videos as always Caleb thanks for sticking with it and finding your dream shop. Keep up all the hard work, we enjoy it!

Timothy Atkinson

I remember back in the day when you said, "guys i can't just AWD swap a Miata like on Forza, it's not that easy!" And then you AWD swapped a Miata. Can't wait to see this madness unfold, the finished product will be sick but the journey will be epic!

Mitchell Holm

BIG. YES. The AWD Miata was next level, so I cannot wait to see how you step it up with the Eclipse!

Glenn9K

This sounds amazing. I have a similar project planned for another kind of car, so it'll be great for me to watch you tackle this.

S shiggy Y

hey you were on about cutting the glass back and adding ducting, how about this, take a look at the ferrari f40, that has a glass rear window but also with ducting etc built into the glass, maybe do summin like that , so that way you can still see the engine

Nathan Lochon

I wanted to know if you are planning to build a front trunk for it ? It can be cool to build this, as if, this car was going to be a daily. You know AC, and all that stuff. It might seems pointless, but (your builds are so cool don't get me wrong) but all builds on YouTube, are pretty much always focused on race only.

Frederic Geile

I just got done watching the introduction video and I can't help but to wonder if it would be easier to get the AWD rear hubs or suspension and use that instead of having to make all new mounts for another set of front suspension to go into the rear. Now I don't know much about DSMs so that might not be possible or as easy as it sounds, but might be a short cut to look into.

Marvin Visser

MR2 actually uses the whole front geometry of a corolla and moved it to the back. Someone here mid engine swapped a Honda CRX and did the same.

Frederic Geile

Oh really? I didn't know the goemetry was so similar, that's pretty awesome! You learn something every day.

S shiggy Y

sad this new merch dont ship outside the us :(
